My partner and I heard about Helios from friends who had seen promotions at the gay rodeo in Calgary...the owners are all Canadian, friendly (and all hot looking men). We arrived late on the Saturday of the labour day long weekend and the night of one of the resorts leather parties. This was an awesome experience in itself..we don't get... more

Stayed here for one Saturday night this past weekend. Usually you need to book a minimum 2nights on a weekend or else call the week of to see if they still have availability, but I was able to book a single weekend night ahead of time because there just happened to be the one night free in between two week-long... more

My partner and I booked this all male, clothing optional resort during the low season of August. It was a pleasant, quiet and relaxing holiday for us. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the very friendly staff and the three very friendly staff dogs! They gave us a tour of the premises and showed us the our room. The room... more

What can you say?? The owners are three BEAUTIFUL men without any attitude who are as sweet as can be. The guys that go there are awesome, the rooms are beautiful, the parties are stocked with hot and friendly guys........They should have named it Heaven instead because it's the closest thing to it! more

My partner and I just returned from our stay at Helios and can't wait to get back there. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and part of the Helios family. The staff and guest were unlike anyplace we have stayed before. We felt like we were staying at a friends guest house and we were... more

What a great place. Helios is the perfect escape for the gay male traveler. Singles or couples, this place is great for everyone. I was checked in by one of the very sexy owners and given a quick, but thorough tour of the grounds and facilites (you have GOT to see the amazing Play Room for yourself!) and then shown... more

I arrived for my first stay at Helios to find Palms Springs looked like a tornado hit.. including the resort. The clean up took place that night and early he following morning. The Hosts were lovely. The accomodations were what I wanted. A quiet place with a pool to sit by for the following 3 days. The first morning I... more

My recent stay at Helios, formerly named La Posada East, was not my first experience at this property. I have stayed at many resorts in Palm Springs for both business and pleasure but none draw me back quite like Helios. It is convenient, quiet, safe and fun. The owners are accommodating and friendly. The grounds are well manicured with quaint,... more

I stayed for 10 days and wished it was a longer trip the moment I arrived. The staff & owners are friendly & really helpful, directing me to the best places to dine, shop, explore and knew what was going on around town if you were interested & how to best get around too. I was made to feel right... more
